A quick, easy green pasta salad chock full of the tasty, nutrient-rich ingredients with a creamy salad dressing. You can make this flavourful pasta ahead of time, then keep it in your fridge until time to serve. I use whole spelt pasta, but you can choose a variety that meets your nutritional requirements-regular wheat pasta or gluten-free pasta made from rice, lentils or beans.

- Mix everything for the dressing in a bowl. Taste and season. Chill until ready for use.
- Fill a saucepan for the pasta with about 800ml of water. Place over high heat and bring it to a boil. Add 2 teaspoonfuls of salat to the boiling water. Add in pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. In the last minute of cooking, add frozen peas. Drain the pasta and peas and return to the saucepan.
- Add in arugula, chives and two thirds of the dressing. Gently toss everything together. Season and taste. Place them on a large serving platter. Scatter the roasted pine nuts over and enjoy!

Looks wonderful Angie !
I am sure I would enjoy this salad. How nice if hubby enjoys it too. He doesn't like pasta and he doesn't like salad. Sigh...
Looks so delicious :)
Un perfetto piatto unico, molto gustoso!

Your pasta salad looks so wholesome and a great way to get in some more veggies and the addition of pine nuts add some welcoming crunch.

I really love pine nuts added to pastas. Pasta salad is always a welcome dish during the summer. Yours looks wonderful.

As you know, I am definitely not a vegetarian, but I would eat something as delicious sounding as this recipe without any hesitation, as the combination of textures and flavours really suit my palate, with pasta being up there among my favourite staple foods, alongside bread and potatoes.
Looks good and thanks for sharing! :)
It looks amazing! :)
Beautiful blog
Las ensaladas de pasta son ideales para esta época del año donde el calor tiene protagonismo. Yo haré hoy una, espero que te guste tanto cuando la publique, como a mi la tuya.

Beautiful pasta salad! Perfect for a summer lunch. xo
This looks wonderful! I love pasta salads, generally make them quite often throughout the summer, but here we are in the middle of summer and I haven’t made a one. I don’t think I have ever put pinenuts in a pasta salad before, but I like that idea.
The toasted pine nuts is the magic touch for me in this salad :)
What a lovely summer salad, perfect for the super hot and humid weather we are having right now.

Pasta salads are a favorite in the summer when the evenings are too hot for cooking or grilling. Love the recipe!
I love pasta salads even if I didn't make them too often! Your recipes is very original and delicate at the same time. Perfect for summer :)
That is guaranteed to satisfy a hungry tummy.
A fabulous pasta salad and what a great use of arugula, something I have an abundance of right now. Of course, I love piñon nuts. Thanks for sharing!
What a great summer salad!
